Are you planning on making improvements to your existing house? Are
you planning on purchasing a house? The Greater Metropolitan Housing
Corporation’s HousingResource Center™ can help
you, and the services are free.
The HousingResource Center™ concept is that it is a “one-stop”
shop for a broad array of housing information and services available
in one location. Through a one-on-one consultation process, the information
is tailored to the individual circumstances of the family, the property
and generates problem solving that is personal and practical. The staff
at the HousingResource Center™ provides information on a variety
of housing related topics including referrals for first time homebuyers
and rental information, home maintenance and safety; as well as mortgage
refinancing and foreclosure prevention programs. They also provide information
on home improvement financing programs for St. Paul residents and are
a lender for the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency home improvement programs.
In addition to these services, the Construction Manager on staff will
provide information on construction; conduct site visits with homeowners
regarding home improvements concerns; prepare a written scope of work
or a list of work for contractors to bid from; assist in reviewing contractor
bids, proposals and estimates in the planning stage; and assist homeowners
during the construction process.
The HousingResource Center’s™ primary goals are
to reduce the number of substandard housing units in each participating
community, assist homeowners to complete home improvement projects,
assist individuals and families to become new homeowners and improve
the image of neighborhoods as desirable places to live.
